-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.

How many times larger is 5 × 106 than 5 × 102?<br><br>PLEASE HELP !
Ray Of Light [21]

Divide the largest one by the smallest one : for example, the number 4 is 42=2× larger than the number 2.

Indeed, If you multiply 2 by 42 you'll get 4.

Of course, if a number is n× larger than another, then this other is n× smaller than the first one.

It will of course work with floating point : 0.6×10.6≈0.6×1.6667=1 so 1 is ~1.6667 times larger than 0.6 while 0.6 is ~1.6667 smaller than 1.

Natalka [10]

Answer: Rounded: 350 miles/inch

Exactly 352 miles per inch.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide the miles by the inches to find miles per inch.

880/2.5 = 352.

It would make sense to round that to say the scale is 350 miles per inch.

One inch represents 350 miles
